Hello,

STMicroelectronics got a new MCU series, the “600 MHz bootflash MCU”. It’s an impressive device that blurs the lines between the MCU and MPU. I bought the NUCLEO-STM32H7S3L8 board to test those new devices, and they’re working well, and it’s pretty simple to get started with the STM32CubeIDE.

I’ve been using VisualGDB for several years, and it has become my favorite tool for developing software for embedded systems. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of documentation about the use of STM32H7S3x8 / STM32H7S7x8 MCUs, and I was wondering if anyone had a chance to work with those in VisualGDB. It would be interesting to know if there is a way to create a project in VisualGDB that contains the Appli and the Boot parts(similar to the STM32CubeIDE).

For now, I have to use the STM32CubeIDE to create and flash the “Boot” project with the “ExtMemLoader,” and then I can use VisualGDB to work on the “Appli” project. That works OK, but it’s somewhat cumbersome. Please let me know if there’s a better solution.

never forget:
